Hi love!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day, could i possibly request a sirius x fem reader where reader just had an unbelievably long day at work (im projecting uni is kicking my behind) and she comes home so worn out and extra clingy cause she needs extra love and attention from sirius and of course our pretty boy is more than happy to oblige? thank you <333

this is so relatable, thank you for requesting angel, i hope you enjoy!

sirius black x fem!reader, fluff

sirius is trying to watch a film while he waits for you at home.

well, he's trying but he's not very good at focusing on the plot today. he keeps thinking of your voice, your sad and tired tone, your fake words to convince him that you're doing okay and he doesn't need to come get you from work. he keeps staring at the screen of his laptop just to make minutes go faster, his eyes are empty when his mind is full of you.

the sound of your keys unlocking the door makes him jumpy a little, he leaves the laptop on the couch to see you. your bag hangs from your shoulder, your eyes look puffy from what he can see, you don't look steady enough to move one more step. sirius frowns but he's quick to take your bag as you kick your shoes.

"welcome back, lovely." he says, quietly. you give him a worn out smile, sirius helps you with your jacket before he takes you in his arms. your hold isn't nearly as strong as his but you still hug him. he realizes you are almost ready to melt into his arms but you need a little time to do that. he brushes a quick kiss on your hair before he can see your face better.

his warm fingers push your hair back. "are you okay?"

you nod, giving him another smile. "better."

sirius supports you gently to go to the bedroom. you sit on bed as he brings you some comfy clothes. the way your eyes seem so blurry breaks his heart, he wants your spark back. he kneels in front of you and holds your hands, a kiss for each knuckle.

"can i help you change?"

you squeeze his hands. "i want to take a shower first, i think. i feel so messy like this."

he nods, stands up from his spot. "do you want me to come with you?" normally he'd ask the question teasingly, he'd smirk until you go mad but this time he's being cautious.

you nod, shyly. "but i don't think i can stay on my feet for too long."

"i'll hold you." he says. "i'll wash your hair and rub your back a bit under hot water, yeah? how does it sound, gorgeous?"

you smile and pull his face towards yourself with the last piece of strength you have. you kiss him for how sweet he's being, he wants to kiss you longer but you don't feel good enough and he knows.

sirius practically carries you to the shower, he helps you out of your clothes to get you under the hot water. he gets in with you, you lean into his chest as he holds you from your waist, his fingers are drawing circles on your skin. you make a sound that melts his heart, your muscles finally get to relax. sirius holds the back of your head to press your face on his neck. you kiss him and close your eyes, the water takes away all the stress you have from your tough day.

you think you'll fall asleep on your feet, leaning against sirius. he washes your hair and his long fingers rubbing your scalp feels perfect. he rinses the shampoo slowly, massages your shoulders with the rest of the bubbles. he cups your cheeks to see your eyes, finds them unfocused and sleepy. "come on, you lovely thing. you have to wait until we go to bed to sleep, yeah? i'll finish in a minute."

you hum, your head falls on his shoulder as you hold onto him like a koala. "i love you so much."

sirius's laugh echoes in the bathroom. "i know, baby." he says. "i love you, too. just keep your eyes open for me."

you nod, trying to do as he says. he finishes quickly just like he promises and you are out of the shower. you don't even have to move a muscle, sirius does everything for you. he doesn't say anything until he gets you nice and comfy, you feel like your heart will explode out of the amount of love you have for him.

you feel a lot better after a warm shower, you decide, the minutes spent under water clean you up in every way. you can feel the thoughts in your brain still exhaust you, but you can't have everything you want at the same time. for now, being physically clean helps a lot.

you change into the clothes sirius picked for you, one of his t-shirts and one of your little shorts. water drips from your hair and you try to use the towel to keep it a little dry. you sigh when your muscles stretch in a comforting but disturbing way.

sirius comes next to you after he finishes getting dressed himself, he stays behind as he takes the towel from your hands. he gently gathers all your hair in his hand and kisses your neck lovingly. you close your eyes, his lips feel like heaven on your skin. tilting your head back, you lean into him until he gives your another kiss.

"my poor baby." he whispers. you hum, needy for every touch. "let's brush your hair."

he does as he says, his fingers move to untangle your hair. he uses the comb after applying some oil you like, and you feel good enough to turn around when he finishes. he leaves the comb on your nightstand, his arms holding you immediately. you bury your face to his neck, the mixed smell of your shampoo and his cologne fill your senses.

"do you wanna go to bed?" he asks. "or maybe the couch?"

"the bed please." you say. he is quick to lift the covers to help you lay in bed. you can cry when you feel soft mattress under your tired body, a sound leaves your lips when you try to get comfortable.

"are you hungry, sweetheart?" sirius asks.

you shake your head. "i don't feel like eating, siri."

sirius hums, he knows he shouldn't force you. he plans a full breakfast for the morning quickly in his mind. "what about some tea, baby? the one you like that smells like berries?"

you think this option for a second, but even though the thought of a hot cup of tea sounds perfect, you don't feel good enough to sit and drink something. you extend a hand to him, he sits next to you on bed, careful eyes watching your every expression.

"maybe later." you say, a smile forming on your lips to convince him you're okay. "won't you come closer?"

sirius places himself gently in bed, right next to you. he is holding you instantly and you wrap yourself around him. his one hand starts rub your shoulder blades, and the other one goes to your hair. he kisses your head, and once more until he loses a breath.

there are voices in your head, they've been there the entire day. you were begging for some silence at some point when you called sirius but controlling your mind is not so easy. you just bury yourself closer to him like you're hiding from the world and he keeps you there. a slow teardrop falls on his neck from your eyes, your lips form a soft pout.

then the voices stop.

because now there's him talking and only him. his beautiful voice reaches your ears and you calm down easily. "it's okay." he says, his fingers are kind in your hair. "my baby's just tired, but you'll feel better. we'll stay in bed until you feel like yourself again, okay?"

you nod automatically, your lips pressed on his neck but not quite kissing. he kisses you instead, covers your forehead with fond brushes of his lips. "let's try to get some sleep, sweetheart." his voice is low. "close your eyes, pretty girl."

"sirius?"

"hmm?"

"thank you." you whisper before breathing him in and closing your eyes for sleep.

"you are so lovely, do you know that?" he blinks, tightens his arms around you. "no need for that, i'm just trying to take care of my girl."

ride with you – bsk

pairing: seungkwan x fem reader

genre: smut

synopsis: when you and your boyfriend are getting ready for the beach trip you two booked for your vacation.

warnings: car sex, fingering, teasing, unprotected sex, oral(f)

a/n: BABY HOLD ON BABY HOLD ON 😁😁😁 I WANNA- RIDE WITH YOUUU FALLIIIN' INTO YOURS EYES

"yn, im driving" seungkwan sounds mad but sad enough for him, that just excites you more.

"no one told you to provoke me"

earlier today, you two were finishing things before leaving to your vacation trip. you booked an airbnb close to one of busan's beaches, in a more private area so you can enjoy yourselves without too much caring; and you were, fairly enough, very excited.

the thing is, seungkwan keeps chatting on his phone and singing the songs on his playlist more than finishing his bag. you were getting stressed that a bit more, and it'd be starting to get dark outside and the road more dangerous to ride, but he wouldn't listen to you.

you were basically rambling a speech to him, reasoning all of that but all he did was coming closer to you instead, hugging your waist from behind and burying his face on your neck

"relax, babe, it's our vacation"

"how can i when you dont pay attention to me?" you sound softer than before, he slowly making his way into you.

he delivers a trail of kisses on your neck, sucking the place where it connects with your shoulders. you gasp a little bit surprise at where his lazy motions led, before he bites your skin softly.

"seungkwan..." you warn him.

"what? i thought you wanted my attention" he moves his hands down your shorts to play with the hem of your panties.

"you know that was not what i meant"

"i know" he traces his fingers at your clothed cunt and you relax in his arms, resting your head on his shoulders, your eyes going shut "can i?" he askes putting a bit more pressure on your core, making you whimper, already feeling like you could be wet.

"we gonna be late tho" you replied, not so composed anymore.

"you right" he says, unattaching his hand off of you "im going to finish packing" and just like that he leaves you in the middle of the living room and actually goes finish to get ready.

and that's how you got on this situation. you both already on the road, seungkwan driving you to busan. it has been a bit less than one hour, and to be fair, you've been controlling yourself, but it's taking too long to arrive.

you rest on the passenger seat, getting comfortable as you tug your summer dress up to your waist, caressing your fingers beneath your panties "babe..." you sound like you could be weak and he senses that in your tone.

"what? are you not feeling go–" he looks at you briefly before looking back at the road, his eyes getting bigger when he realizes your position, your legs open "yn, what are you doing?"

"doing what you refused to do before"

you bring your fingers up to your mouth, sucking them wet before getting it under your panties, finally feeling your bare core.

"yn, im driving" he moves on his seat, trying to ignore your presence beside him.

"i can see that"

your fingers sliding up and down your cunt, getting it wetter each second. you gasp at the feeling when you finally reach your clit, drawing circles at the muscle "fuu-ck... no one told you to provoke me" you whimper, goosebumps spreading on your body as the sensation builds.

seungkwan swallows dry, he looks at you briefly again, your head resting while your eyes stay shut, your bottom lip caged on your teeth "fuck..." he's trying not to get hard right now, moving to ajust his seat position one more time.

lucky for you, the road is empty and the car barely stopping on the way, its practically impossible to anyone to see what's happening inside; knowing that, you decide to provoke a bit more. besides the fact, you really got hooked up and now you need to cum or you'll be stressed.

you pull both of your legs up, giving yourself more access to your entrance.

"why dont u help me, hm?" you look at him giving those eyes of yours.

"weren't you so anxious to get to busan? arent we waisting time if i stop to help you?" he spits, a little smirk playing in his lips.

this little shit... you think to yourself. since this is not working, you settle on doing it yourself. he will, either stop when he can't resist anymore or, in the worst case, you'll have to cum by yourself.

so you start focusing on your pleasure again. teasing your cunt a bit more, your panties getting drenched as you moan. and just like that, you push your hips up and take off your panties, throwing it on the back seat.

"yn... you're going too far"

you just ignore his words and slide your middle finger inside you, gasping at the feeling. your bare pussy fully exposed and your legs a bit numb from the position.

"holly shit" seungkwan's jaw clenchs and his voice gets more assertive "yn, im not kidding, im driving, that's dangerous"

"im not asking for your attention" rather than firm, you sound breathless. your tension getting bigger as you work your fingers inside you.

his tongue pushing to the side of his own cheek, he's mad.

"you look so hot like this, kwannie" you push another finger inside making your eyes roll back. he grunts, his dick getting hard on his pants.

you fasten your fingers as you whimper. before you realize, seungkwan is turning on the green that decores the sides of the road, he goes further before finally stopping the car in the middle of nowhere.

"get on the back, now" you do as he says, climbing from the console to the back seat while seungkwan is unplugging his seat belt to get off the car before moving to the back too.

he hugs your form, closing the door after him, laying you down on the back seat as he gets above you. your mouths connecting almost immediately, you smirk between kisses and he playfully set a light smack on the side of your ass cheek "now you cant wait, hm?" you just giggle at him and he cant help smilling too.

you're back at kissing, his hands exploring your body before he pushes one of your legs up to his waist. your hip automatically pushing up to meet his length in response, making both of you moan in each others mouths.

you slide your hands down his upper body until you get on his jeans, undoing its buttons. he breaks off the kiss to take his shirt off. you drunk in his naked form in front of you, his hard cock giving volume to his boxers, the messy hair and plumped lips, he's so fucking hot and all yours.

before you realize, he's going down on you. seungkwan takes both of your legs up to his shoulders, sliding your dress up to your belly. he looks up at you, trailing wet kisses on the skin right above where you need him the most.

"you are so beautiful" he goes down a little bit, taking a good look at your wet pussy, smacking his lips on your clit, making you whimper. he smirks, setting kisses on your inner thighs.

he waist no time in licking your folds, you mewl at the sensation, your head throwing back.

his tongue going up down and down your slick until he gets back to your clit, sucking the flesh. you moan, getting your hands to his hair, pushing him closer to your cunt. he grunts at that and your roll your hips on his mouth.

hearing you, he enters with his tongue on you, fucking you closer to your high. you push him again making his nose poke your clit, feeling your orgasm approaching "kwannie, im close"

"cum for me" his warm breath hitting your core, making you see starts, your pussy clenching.

you gasp at the feeling, the known built waiting to me release "kwannie... cumm-ing"

combining his tongue inside you and you rolling your hips in his face, your high approaches. your body going stiff before letting it go. you cum all over his mouth, he slides his tongue up to your clit to help you ride your orgams as you start to whimper when it gets too much.

he looks up at you, his face glistening with your cum "hold on a little more, hm? i haven't fuck you yet" he says before diving right back in.

he is licking your clit slower now, waiting for the pleasure to build again. you cant help a whimper at the pain that you like. and when he sucks your clit making you moan, he knows you're ready for him.

he uses his tossed shirt to clean your cum from his face before sliding down his boxers. his dick hitting his belly. he does a few testing bumps before laying above you again.

"ready?"

"yes"

he hands his base, slowly sliding it into you. you grip his shoulders, your nails digging the flesh as you throb nonstop around him.

he grunts at the feeling "baby, calm down or im not lasting long"

he keeps going into you until he bottoms out, his forehead hitting your shoulders as a low moan scapes his mouth. seungkwan gives you some time to ajust, but you're impatient. you push your hips up, lightly thrusting onto him. your fingers tugging his hair.

he grunts, getting his head back up to look at you before sliding out to slide back in "so greedy" he starts slowly, both of you breathing heavy as push him closer to you, capturing his mouth on yours.

you kiss each other messily. none of this is fast, he is taking his time with you, fucking you slowly. he picks up the pace a little, fucking you harder this time. when he finds your g spot, you gasp on his lips.

seungkwan ajust his position, hitting your spot repeatedly, you both moaning, the windows getting blurry because of the heat inside. you bite his lower lip, caging it in between your teeth before sucking the flesh as he moans.

he is going faster now and you're getting closer as he stimulates your g spot. your sounds are getting him closer to the edge, too.

"fuck... im close"

he keeps fucking you, his three fingers getting on your clit pushing you closer "that's right, give me another one"

you are throbing around his length, and thats when he pinches your clit and you're cumming around him right after. he lets a raspy moan, his eyes going shut as he lets go too, cumming with you. his cum hitting your walls deliciously, making you mewl at the sensation.

you roll your lips riding both of your highs as he's fucking you slowly. when you start to whimper with the overstimulation, he slides off of you, making you pout at the loss.

he looks at your cunt wet and decorated with both of your cums, some of it coming out, making him reach it with his hand to put it back in "lets not waste any of that" your eyes shutting at the contact.

seungkwan gets your panties that are messily resting on the side of your layed body, pushing your legs up, he lets a kiss on your right ankle before sliding the panties back on you. he goes peck your lips after you're dressed "lets go, babe, we have to get to busan"

you both get back to the front. his cum wetting your panties when you get up from the back seat. seungkwan is buttoning his jeans, shaking his hair back to place, before going to the drivers seat again. you brush your hair with your fingers, looking at yourself from the rear view mirror.

"you better not have stained my car's seat" he teases you, tugging his shirt back to his body.

"fuck you, seungkwan. start the car already, what are you waiting?" you fight back, and he smirks before doing as you say.

and this is just the beginning of your vacation.

Hey there! I've come across your art ever since I got into Risk of Rain 2 (better late than never, I've been sleeping on this game for years, jesus), and I'm enamoured with it, to say the least. Is there any advice you could perhaps give for an aspiring artist?

you're getting an essay whether you like it or not.

tl;dr of it if you dont want to read

- learn how to take critique

- dont skip fundamentals

- tracing is okay*

- be mindful when drawing

- you wont see good results for a long time

ok firstly, glad you like my art! i try my best on pretty much everything i make so the compliment is greatly appreciated!!

secondly, you have NO clue how much i love yapping about how to draw. im not an expert on how-to-draw-ology but i like to think i know enough to help other people not swing in the dark when it comes to getting better.

learning how to take criticism is THE most important part. not getting butthurt or at least listening to peoples critiques when they mean well is critical to improvement because its specialized advice for you. you have no clue how many young and/or new artists have gotten mad at me for giving critique when they specifically asked me for it. if youre looking to improve you gotta bite that bullet. not all criticism is valid(dont listen to people who are just tryna make you upset), but good and valid criticism can come from anyone. dont unvalidate someone's critique just because theyre not an artist or "not as good" as you. try and get as much feedback as you can and move onto the next piece instead of fixing something to perfection. you will get obsessed in a very destructive way.

learning fundamentals is another step to getting better. that means actually learning perspective, hands, anatomy, and all of the other stuff people hate drawing. its like lifting weights. most people dont like it but if you want to get stronger you need to put in the time to do the painful stuff.

chris christodoulou(ror's composer) actually made a similar comment about the topic of improvement in his field that was along the lines of "if you want to write music, stop playing video games and read a book". he got a lot of shit for saying that but honestly its true.

you need to treat art as a discipline if you want to get better at it. draw as much as you can for as long as you can before it becomes a health hazard. when im not resting i tend to draw at least three hours a day, not counting the 3 to 6 hours additional hours a day i draw during college. obviously a beginner doesn't need to draw that much but drawing daily is a good start.

if you want resources on where to look for fundamentals, Sinixdesign and Ethan Becker were who I turned to for advice that is relevant to the industry. There's definitely others out there but I tend to do more self studying so i don't know the more recent stuff.

something that they'll bring up is that tracing isn't bad AS LONG AS YOU DONT POST IT AND CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN. it's a good way to see how other people deal with stylization, but its absolutely not okay to post that stuff online. treat it like how traditional painters do master studies. its for your own education, not clout. and you shouldn't be drawing for clout anyway.

last but not least, draw what you love and you'll always love drawing. dont be afraid to hyperfixate and lose interest in things. it will help you continue your art journey. a lot of people in my art school have little to no motivation to draw outside of college because they have no interest in drawing outside of assigned work, which is not a great relationship to have with art if you want to pursue it in the long run. draw what you want to draw when the motivation hits you. if that motivation is risk of rain? draw it. if it's leg muscles then fuck yeah draw that too.

you can stick fundamental practice into your casual art by being mindful of what you are drawing. that can be done by asking questions about what's going on to further the progress of your art. its kind of hard to explain in text, but its basically just keeping in mind how your lines influence the piece.

in the beginning youre going to have ideas and none of them are going to translate to paper. its going to take years before anything will ever compare to whats in your brain and thats just the sucky part. ive been drawing seriously for about 5 or 6 years and theres still a ton of shit i do NOT wanna touch but i have to if i want to improve.

we're all sisyphus pushing that goddamn stupidass boulder and the only thing we can do is acknowledge how far we've come while still knowing that there's more work to be done. but thats kind of the shit that i live for.

[tomatoart]

mwah your art is good and nice :>

can I ask for some advice? no worries if u don't want to answer.

do you have any tips on how exactly to practice art? everytime I ask for art advice everyone always says "practice" but idk what to practice first! do you have any strategies for learning how to draw something? do you do excercises? and if so how do they work?and are there any beginner mistakes I should look out for and change specifically?

thank you so much!! have a wonderful week :>

thank you so much! im ok w answering! i dont want to speak as if i am an expert on how to draw things in general as i am learning as well and definitely am not completely learned, so i might not be the best person to ask since im not very professional w my art as I do it as a hobby (and I can only speak on mostly digital cartoon matters) but i reallly hope to try and help u out even a lil ! im really happy that you’re eager to draw :] I wish you so much luck muwah muwah

i also hated when ppl told me “just practice” and i dont wanna inflict tht on u EITHER LOL but also thats just what i ended up doing for awhile but i tried to find some things to help ^_^

tips for practice: My number one rule is that practices should be challenging but still fun, I know it can get frustrating trying to redraw a pose over and over trying to get it perfect. And over time it rlly is all about muscle memory, the longer you draw the more your eyes will pick out specific shapes in everyday life and convert them into its own vision of them! or at least its good to look at life that way, try to pin point key shapes and stress less on details in practices. after you look at key points, THEN you can go over what you have and draw in and over it to make it more “complete.” To stop practices from getting too stressful I recommend starting out drawing what you want a little more simple looking than ur desired finished product. This helps eliminate the pressure of everything not looking “perfect” and keeps your art more loose and fun. Doing this a few times is gonna get ur brain to recognize patterns in art and how things look/flow in anatomy and such. dont get stuck in ur own head abt perfecting everything to the point you either 1) give up bc ur not at a level capable of it being 100% “perfect” or 2) focus so much on making it perfect that you end up saying the work looks “wonky” or stale in dynamics, So while I do think studies help, don’t get too lost in them. I always practice with media I enjoy too, whether it’s characters or fashion I enjoy.

Strategies learning to draw something: people get mad abt this one but I think tracing reference photos is great. its been awhile but When I tried learning to draw hands better at first I would trace them then put the traced image to the side of the canvas, then try and replicate what my mind saw as its most important angles and aspects. Same for clothing folds/hair/etc! I think it’s maybe not the best idea to trace the ref and use the tracings as is, because you learn more from tracing it then trying to replicate and simplify what u learned into the style you’re working in. Find what shapes you like from them and don’t over detail it. you may have to go by eye and think “what parts of this ref photo should i simplify to fit my style” and for me, its usually adjusting the length of the torso and then the limbs by associations. i dont recommend feeling like u need a reference for every art you make though, its ok to let ur own head try out its own sometimes too while trying to learn this, see if it remembers any call bad from the past referenced sketches! over time ull remember where everything goes more, these days i rarely kick myself to use refs but im sure they still would help to use, but figure drawing simple blobby figure in a bunch of random poses was a big thing i used to do as well to get better at full body art + overall dynamics (still does this). also paying attention to silhouettes is great 

Exercises and how they work: I WANNA HELP U SO BAD BUT to be honest, all the works on my blog ARE exercises! i rarely actually do finished pieces, if u scroll thru my posts ull notice most r sketches. i usually just fill up a page and call it “warm ups” then i get attached to some of them, take a few, and just line them up pleasingly on a smaller page, then color them in (or sometimes fix the lines to be more clean too). im not rlly a person who “exercises” to practice, it more so happens from just me drawing a lot for fun as a hobby! but i really should. i will tell u this has humbled me a lil i need to start practicing too 😭 LOL but a good exercise is to look at what ur inspirations do, and study it. Make a collage and write out what you like most abt their styles/what u want to gain from them. For ref Here’s a page I did awhile ago when someone asked me abt my insps:

i also look at fashion magazines and as well as anime figures and take insps from that sometimes with learning cool poses and compositions to convert into my own things

Beginner mistakes to look out for: its hard for me to pin point “mistakes” beginners make, as sometimes we cant avoid all of them or even notice them, progress comes from growing out of old ways. some mistakes are even the foundation of ur future amazing cool style! but i think some things to look out for could be these, from my own old art experiences

Hands were the first thing I learned bc i liked drawing them. I don’t know if that is the best way to go but I think it is smart to practice sooner than later, here is a lil guide thingggyyy wingyyy from awhle ago

i see beginners shy away from drawing signs of age in people, sometimes adding too much detail on an older person in cartoon art makes it look weird, so i try and hit the key markings on ppls faces of age.

Too thin of lines. sometimes its a stylistic choice to use thin lineart, and it can look amazing ! but sometimes it can flatten an image if ur not familiar with its flow. im not saying use thick line art, but more so to keep in mind the weight of ur strokes, adding depth with a thick thin combo of line art can do SO much for the simplest of pieces. heres a visual from a while back when i talked abt my brush + more abt lines:

but if ur desired style is thin lineart that is cool too! tbh it was just harder for me as a beginner

sometimes artists think they need to do full lineart for everything and then hate how it looks compared to the sketch, do not fear i will introduce u to my bff: painting over a sketch, extractinging the lines, then calling it line art. i only do this sometimes but its a fun exercise-ish thing to do in a pinch. example:

finding what shading fits ur art. sometimes ill see ppl starting out who have a style thats very simple, but they use a very detailed rendering process on it. this is not something id ever police of course, art is each persons own choice! And it CAN work. It can be so cute! but sometimes mixing two very contrasting mediums of art can throw off the “put together” look of it. i use to abuse the airbrush tool thinking it made my simple style look super cool and detailed, but looking back on it now those pieces looked a little off, having such a simple style have somewhat more realistic shading. dont get me wrong the ability i see ppl use rendering like that is so insanely talented! but i found cellshading to be a good match for cartoony art like my own. a tip i learned way too late abt that is rather than shading each layer by color picking a darker color, instead use a clipping mask over the entire art (above line art too as I color my lineart) and lasso tool the areas u want shaded + fill it w a saturated purple then set to multiply + lower opacity. also, sometimes coloring can come out chalky looking when u meant for it to be smooth and transitional, i think this comes from overshading and overlighting pieces without reason. pay attention to where the light source is, and focus on making the shaded and lighter areas nice shapes that cover the necessary areas, then u can add additional shading to the smaller details of what should have a casted shadow/light  

its good to spice up ur art now rather than later, focusing making ur art pop more w backgrounds will help ur coloring skills look better too! i dont mean detailed huge backgrounds, a small lil color pallet and design rather than a blank white bg. like this will make u feel better abt it or at least it helped me *sweats* yeah:

beginners tend to draw blank faces like “:)” but I think a good thing to do is try and get silly with expressions early on. It’s okay if the mouth hangs off the face cartoonishly with joy or shock, it’s ok if the eyebrows are super high in surprise.

tracing and pasting it as is (already said this but I’ve seen ppl do it a lot with hair styles and it makes it look alienated from the rest of the style) (final fantasy fans found critically injured) n if need a ref for a pose, using a real humans anatomy as-is doesn’t look quite right on a cartoonyish drawing. Shortening torso and legs usually comes out of this for me!

flip ur canvas i promise u it’ll be less embarrassing over time!

using guidelines for perspective and foreshortening is GREAT. Do it stylistically rather than realistically to add some groove to it...yay. Having silly perspective in art can make it look like a 10 so easily opposed to a normal front facing sketch. Look at cool poses from fashion magazines! Don’t be scared to draw something you don’t feel confident in conveying perfectly, this is why progress redraws exist :)

Drawing the hairline b4 u draw the hair is great, it helps u understand where their hair flows from, where it starts and stops, AND prepares u for drawing bald ppl. Also don’t make the head too big, the skull IS bigger up top, but sometimes I see an alien head affect.

Anatomy is an interesting mistake that beginners make a lot, but it’s one they find harder to notice! When I started out, all my art would be SO wonky, but I didn’t even realize it! It still happens today too! specifically though I see beginners struggle with the arms in this department. My advice is to try and measure them out and make sure they don’t go past the knees, and are the same length as each other when Unfolded. asking for criticism is hard but it helped me realize when i would make something bigger/longer than it should have been in my art, and stuck with me being able to go “oh... i see it LOL” 

clothing wrinkles- do not over do it! Too many wrinkles and shading can look unpleasant and wirey- like a plastic table cloth all bunched up which isn’t exactly what ppl wear. pay attention to gravity too

I hope this helped even a lil im sorry tht I’m not very good at explaining or didn’t have much to sayyy! If u have any troubles no guarantee I’ll have the answer, but ur always free to ask!

Sootfoot Root spirits, it turned out, were excessively bitter and left a nebulous feeling on the tongue, almost numbing it.

Aspear Berry liquor, on the other hand, burned remarkably painfully all the way down in the stomach despite its smoothness.

When they'd started their competition, the two men had thought that by the end of it (so more or less now) their disgust and distaste for each other's choice of handmade alcohol would have increased exponentially.

They had not counted on the fact that they would be too wasted to taste anything at all.

Melli could swear he had grown another two pairs of hands, and between downing shots and groaning from both the headache and the burning of his esophagus he was trying to practice moving all six of his limbs independently from one another instead of in unison; Gaeric, for his part, was so staggeringly aware of and in his inebriated state that he could almost feel his own liver processing the alcohol and his neurons slowly but surely going to shit.

"I'm still not going to puke," he said numbly, repeating himself for the third time.

His companion whimpered something unintelligible and narrowed his pretty eyes as he once again attempted to move the mirages from the liquors instead of his own hand.

" 'nother one?" Gaeric asked.

A wet gurgle nodded back at him.

He steeled his hand and poured himself a glass of that disgusting spirit before sadly doing the same for Melli with his delicious Aspear liquor. How badly he wanted to be in his place and sip that smooth fermented juice... Certainly the Diamond would have lamented the same thing, if he'd been capable of thinking coherently.

They grasped the glasses, but their arms did not manage to lift them as though they were heavier than Lord Avalugg.

Ugh.

This was too much.

He was definitely going to pass out and let the other win.

Though to be fair, by the looks of his opponent, this would probably end up being a draw.

Suddenly, Melli blurted out a proper sentence, which must have taken a toll on his strength since he then deflated forward and slammed his chest on the table: "Sinnoh Almighty I lo'e him."

Gaeric felt the information travel up to his brain: "Ingo?" he asked, just to be sure.

"Yes."

"Ah." He extended his hand over, offering a brotherly handshake: "Same."

The Diamond gripped him back with all the non-existent strength that was very much no longer in his already wiry muscles: "He's jus' so good. Too good."

"I agree."

"So strong."

"Incredibly so. With Pokémon, too."

"Sweet."

"Undoubtedly."

"He's... He's..."

"Perfect to hold."

"Yes! Just..."

"Easy to grab."

"Yes."

"And tease."

"Yes."

"And very gentle with hugs."

"And... Big, voice. Loud. But! But nice."

"Absolutely."

"So good."

"He really is."

Melli moaned pitifully, sounding heartbroken: "I miss 'im."

"He'd probably be mad that we're doing this," Gaeric mused.

"I wanna hold 'im... I wanna hold 'im now so bad..."

"He'd be real comfy, wouldn't he..."

"So good to kiss..."

"He really is."

They both huffed.

They needed to get along more.

This might be a way. If they didn't mind ruining their livers.

The Pearl finally found the power to lift his glass into the air: "To Ingo," he solemnly cheered.

Somehow, Electrode's warden managed to do the same: "To kissin' the life outta 'im," he agreed.

Their beverages clinked together.

In a gulp, the last swigs of burning spirits flushed down into their stomachs with a symphony of pained groans.

Licking his dry lips, Gaeric decided he'd had enough for tonight.

"I'm passing out," he declared.

Melli looked at him while fighting his soul back into his own body: "Wuh?"

"I said I'm passing out."

"Uh. Uh-uh."

Glad they'd reached an understanding, the older man nodded, allowed his head to crash onto the table, slipped off of it, and started snoring the second he hit the floor like a bag of wheat.

The other stared for a little at where his drinking opponent had been just a second before; then he laid his throbbing forehead inside his own glass, falling asleep like that, uncaring of the deep red mark that position would have left on his pale skin once he'd wake up.

IM FINALLY MAKING THE INTRO FOR HIM AFTER LIKE 84 YEARS—

Katsu!

Under the cut because GOD this is long—

Katsu started out in simple beginnings, born and raised in Osaka by a loving mother and mainly absent father. Things were fine for him back then, playing video games and watching sentai shows with his friends, practicing Kung Fu on pillows in his room, drumming with chopsticks on empty Tupperware containers, simple living overall! However, this simple life would fall to shambles by the age of 16, he didn’t know his mother had a drinking problem and thought it was just some hobby of hers, he didn’t know the hidden drinking problem would end in liver failure and soon her demise. Upon hearing this news, his father took him in to live with him, but he, of course, was still barely there. He’s still doing some of his simple life activities but he lost a few friends over the years, either to them moving away or a falling out. On a bad day where he got in a fight at school (he won—), he’s about to go to his dad’s room, just to see if he’s home, but he overhears him talking mad shit about his late mother over the phone with somebody, and even laughing about how he’s the reason she gained a drinking problem, asking if it’s ‘really that serious’

Katsu was understandably furious, running to his room, slamming the door shut, and with a righteous anger, practically destroyed it entirely! There were 2 holes in the wall, his trash can thrown over, keyboard thrown around, etc. his nose bled for the first time since summer days many years ago, and he looked to his ceiling, with a rampant thought in his mind, “I’ll end him and send him to hell, it should’ve been him.”

Cut to him being about 21 now I’d say, he’s got a drinking addiction, his dad is on a missing paper, and his main source of income are underground fighting rings and occasionally rap battles. This is where he met Maki! Well more like Maki met him lol

Ok it’s time for details!

Katsu is a metal head but for some reason recently I’ve been thinking about him freestyle rapping and him being real smart with wordplay— idk why but it’s cool so now I added it to his character

The reason it took me so long to get this posted (I literally finished his design like either December 10th or 11th of 2021) was because I wanted to give him an extended text like Bat and Maki have, and also because I didn’t have a backstory for him yet—

If he needs to let off some anger but has nothing to physically let it off on, he’ll pull out his phone, turn on some metal from his mixtape, and start head banging very violently. Some people are scared of him.

His design is based off of like 1 or 2 pieces by Jinx88 (Yeah I know big surprise there /s 🙄) mixed with some elements of Okuyasu and pictures I’ve seen of moshpit/rave goers

I wanted to give him this cool bullet belt I saw once on this guy in a metal head video,, but I have discovered I cannot draw bullets,,,

Strangely good at looking after kids??? Maybe it’s either because he’s a little childish (and stupid—) or just cuz he’s kind hearted, you would never expect him to be too good around kids especially since he’s an only child—

I can’t draw muscles 😰

He cannot cook.

Alright now that wraps up the little detail section, here’s an added subtitle pic aaaand peace out!

I felt so smart with how I played around with the kanji tattoos 🙈🙈🙈

Behind the Curtain - 7

| Prologue | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Epilogue |   

Updates are Sundays at 5pm PST! Next week is the end!!!

Characters: Jaebeom x You

Genre: Smut

Warning(s): Breath Play, Light Name Calling, Size kink? sort of not really

Word Count: 2,248

You were turning the final corner to your room when you slammed face first into a wall of a human. Im Jaebeom. 

“I’m sorry!” You said as you stood up and tried to catch your breath. “

My office.” He said as he walked past you, “NOW!!” 

Dealing with the situation inside of you would have to wait. It was time to face the fearsome leader.

He’s twice your size. Easily. He’s nearly a head taller than everyone but Yugyeom and is built with the shoulders of a linebacker. You fidget uncomfortably, wondering why your stomach insists on flipping like a gymnast at the Olympics. JB’s eyes settle on you, anger seething from them and for some reason you blush and quickly avert your gaze.

Jaebeom paces around the room while you just awkwardly stand there, waiting for whatever storm was about to come your way and his arms keep brushing yours as he paces. Whether it was accidental or not, it was sending shivers down your spine. He pushes a button on his desk and then finally stops to turn and face you.

“Did you know what was coming and not tell me?” He finally asked, his voice is loud in your ear, his head so close that you are occupying practically the same space in his large office. You have to fight the flush crawling up your neck having him this close. “The raid?” You ask innocently, “Why would I have known before you?” “That is the true question Y/N.” He paces again before pulling his face hairs away from yours, his eyes piercing your soul. “Why did you know before us? Are you involved?” “I didn’t know.” You said firmly, trying not to falter as your heartbeat began to race. He might seem soft to those who know him, but he isn’t the gang leader for nothing. “Ahhh…I thought we didn’t lie in this gang.” He said as he pulled back a little. “I’m not lying.” You try to convince him and a smirk overtakes his lips. “That’s impressive.” he says, taking a sip of the water you just now notice is on his desk. “You must practice a lot.” “Practice?” You asked, confused at the statement. “Yeah,” he says, slyly, “Practice keeping your life story straight, your lies straight, keeping us complacent with your nearly flawless work only to have it all come crashing down in the end.”

You were looking anywhere but him. If you make eye contact, you’ll die. Literally and metaphorically.

“Someone has to work hard to make a good girl out of you.”

His voice has dropped an octave with that comment. You feel it in your core, but have to remain calm and collected on the outside. Does that mean he is letting you live? That he has some kind of plan that will assure his victory?

“Sometimes you need direction to find your way back to where you belong, a heavy hand, maybe?” He asked as he began to come closer again. “Do you like it when someone’s strict with you? You seem to not tremble as much as I thought someone like you would.” “Someone like me?” You asked, swallowing harder than you meant to.

“A traitor.” His hand comes up—hot, searing fingertips ghost against your jaw before carefully sliding back so that his thumb hooks under your chin and the rest of his fingers can put heavy, pressure on your throat. His fingers span the entire width of your neck easily and the pressure on your windpipe quickly hits you. He leans down until his face is directly in front of yours again. You can feel your knees start trembling when you realize that your life is literally in his hand and he knows your secret. “I wish you would look me in the eyes instead of looking away all the time.” He tilts your head up, almost forcing your eyes to lock on to his. You stare fiercely, emboldened by his dare. You look at his lush eyelashes, his moles above his eye, the stubble he missed on his chin, the way his skin creases at his eyes. Most of all, you look down at his mouth—pink, soft lips that he wets with the tip of his tongue before he speaks. If this was the last thing you ever saw, you wouldn’t be too mad.

Jaebeom quickly swapped places with you and pushed you up against his desk. His one hand reaching your waist to hold you still. He squeezes, a fingertip ever so gently gliding under the waistband of your pants. It drives all of your blood south, making your clit throb against the seam of your pants. In the craziness of earlier with Jackson, your underwear had disappeared.

You yelp as JB releases your throat for a moment, grabs you around the middle and completely lifts off the ground with a pair of arms as immovable as iron shackles. You squirm, nearly managing a kick where it hurts the most, but you are pulled back tight against a warm, solid body.

“I kinda like you scared,” he counters, squeezing you. “seeing the look in a traitor’s eyes before death always gives me a rush.

“I’m not a trait-“

His hand is around your throat again in an instant. It makes your whole body dizzy, it makes you feel vulnerable as hell and you can’t help but want to melt into the arms of the man who is about to kill you. The weirdest thing is that you can breathe easily—his fingers only squeeze on the sides, effectively cutting off the blood flow to your brain, instead of your windpipe. He is trying to weaken you for information instead of just outright kill you and you realize just how skilled with his hands this man is. The effect is like a live wire to your cunt.

“Why is it you only listen when you have to be manhandled into it?”

He sets you down on your feet again and you gasp for air, the blood rushing back to your head. It sends a trickle up your spine.

His hand sneaks up your shirt to squeeze your breasts hard enough to make your whimper. “Gonna fucking devour these tits. If you’re going to lie, you’re going to die, and I might as well have some fun first.“

“Jaebeom,” you accidentally moan, sounding pretty needy.

He pulls back, wiping his mouth where spit has practically dribbled onto his chin from his forceful talking. It should be gross, but instead you want to lick him clean.

“Get on your knees, sweetheart.”

He pushes you down on the hard wood. “I always knew you were a little slut,” he mutters, undoing his belt. “Christ, the things I’ve thought about doing to you— and yet you went to everyone else but me for relief over the last few days.“ You watch his zipper with a concentration usually reserved for combat.

His cock springs out, hard and heavy under its own weight. It’s nearly as thick as your wrist.

“Fuck,” you whisper. It’s so much better than anyone else in the gang you had seen. You knew It was your last fuck and you couldn’t be happier it was with this dick.

“You’re going to suck me off until I come in that pretty little throat, right? You have to swallow, okay? Obey one last order before it’s time to go.”

You nod, entranced by the throbbing tip, where he’s leaking pearled drops of pre-cum.

You lean forward and lick the flat of your tongue up his shaft to taste him.

Immediately, he grabs a fistful of your hair, which normally you would break someone’s finger for, but you kind of like being held like this. It just shows his dominance and proves that no matter what, you can’t get away.

Your open your mouth and ease the entire head in as far as you comfortably can on the first try, but when you gag yourself a little, he makes sure to force himself in more, if only a notch deeper.

His cock suddenly jerks to draw your attention, tightening up a bit, as if trying to get harder than he already is. He begins moving your head back and forth and your jaw is already edging on its way to soreness, but somehow feeling the tip hit the back of your tongue, tasting each time more pre-come leaks out of him, feels good.

His breath becomes more labored as you suck on him more. You learned you love the way his chest heaves, the fabric of his shirt stretching across his pectoral muscles. If only you really were on his side, you both would make a great power couple both in and out of the bedroom.

One of his feet slide forward, settling between your thighs. “Good girls get to grind their pussy on my boot while they suck cock,” he growls. “I’m not even that cruel to deny someone release before their death.”

You moan around his length when your clit meets the friction of the shoe through your too thick pants. You roughly hump his leg and leave a clear puddle of evidence. Would he smell it tomorrow, your pussy on his clothes, and think of you on your knees? Crying with a cock between your lips? Would the raid happen as planned and he won’t even make it to tomorrow?

Suddenly his hips find the will to move urgently. His cock fills your throat up enough that you can’t breathe, the hand on the back of your head presses you further into the stretch, and you feel his cock push forward into your gag reflex.

You feel tears leak out of your eyes. It feels like you have been caught in a perpetual choke.

“Good girl,” he groans out. “Swallow. I want to feel it.”

Your mouth quivers. He seems too in control to come. That seems to be the theme with Im Jaebeom though, In control until the last moment.

He groans loudly, hips stuttering. “Feels so fucking good. Knew you could take the whole thing, my messy, drooling slut.”

He slides out and you launch into a coughing fit, doubling over. He gives you a second to catch your breath before tugging at your scalp again, pulling you back up on your knees. “I.. can’t.. take it, please, fucking do it already ...” you begged, not knowing at this point if you wanted him to just fuck you or kill you already. “Do what? “ he said coyly, as he slid your pants down and moved you up onto the desk, pushing his still hard tip slightly into your folds. “Kill you? No. you are too valuable for that. I need more details before you can have this suffering end. I know you aren’t on our side and that your ‘mother’ who you write to is actually your handler. I’m smarter than you clearly give me credit for.” With that, he lined himself up and quickly thrust himself into you. You couldn’t contain your loud gasp as his cock filled you up so quickly. The stretch was painfully blissful. Jaebeom began to pound into you, keeping up a consistent rhythm, hard and quick. He was going to fuck you silly so that he could get all of the information he needed. You were starting to lose focus, but you had to stay coherent. He slowed down as he felt himself come close to climaxing, his breathing becoming heavy again. “Tell me when the raid is.” He said as he slowed his pace, stopping your pleasure in its tracks. “No,” you panted, trying to keep your cool. His hands found your neck this time, cutting off airflow. “Tell. Me. Now.” His teeth were clenched and he was clearly ready for this game to be over. You shook your head as best you could. The lack of airflow and fullness of his cock inside of you was bringing you to your climax without him needing to move at all. You knew you wouldn’t last too much longer. You might even black out first. “TELL ME!!!” he screamed as he grabbed your neck tighter. Your orgasm hit you hard with his rush of anger and much to his surprise, the way you clenched around him caused his focus to slip and an orgasm hit him harder than he thought it could. He grip tightened again as he came, and before you could black out and accept your fate, the door to the office was kicked in and the special forces were there to save you. Jaebeom let go of you out of surprise and you fell to the ground coughing. The agency made it in the nick of time. “Who?” Is all you were asked by the lead; you recognized the voice as your former partner. “I’m glad you got my message to move up the raid. A second later and I would’ve been a goner.” You barely got the words out your throat was so sore.

“We can talk about that later. Who?” He asked again. “Mark, Bam Bam, Yugyeom.” You said, rubbing your neck to rid the feeling of JB’s hand trying to force the life out of you, still working on catching your breath. “What does that mean?” JB asked angrily as two men ran forward and restrained him. “Mark,” you stood up, “Bam Bam,” you fixed your pants, “and Yugyeom.” You took a gun from your former partner put it right between Jaebeom’s eyes. You heard the agency spread the word on who to save while you quickly removed the safety from the weapon. “I’m glad I was able to let you cum one last time before the end.” You smirked. “I’m not even that cruel to deny someone release before their death.”

You pulled the trigger.

Until Next Time,

~LoLo

[rio-geometro]

surveys

1. Do you make your bed everyday? not really “make” in the sense that i fold everything all perfect and set the pillows up and smooth it out. but i do kinda out the blanket flat just so i can sit things on the bed and use it as a living space. it also helps to keep dirt and leaves and crumbs out of the actual sheets! vanlife pro tip! also i love to have the blankets make sense when im sleeping haha.

2. What's your favorite​ number? when i was a kid i loved the number 3. i always wanted it on my soccer jerseys. i think i only got it once, during one indoor soccer season where our shirts were sponsored by tully’s restaurant. ugly ass navy blue and red shirts. but i did get 3.

3. What is your dream job? i would say illustration but i actually don’t think that would be a dream job. at least not in the 9-5 sense. i might like to create my own project and sell it, but i don’t know if i’d like drawing other people’s stuff 8 hours a day. what i might actually like to do is be a professional level fiddler, play gigs in bands and solo and just tour the world playing music! but that’s a long way off. i need a lot more practice... 4. If you could, would you go back to school? maybe. if it was free, and i had the means, maybe i would go back to be a dentist! haha. i know so many people with shitty teeth and no means of getting them fixed. i could be a traveling dentist out of my van! hmm, this is starting to sound somehow illegal. but whatever. i could help people!

5. Can you parallel park? yeah, i’ve honed that skill after years of living in cars and parking in different cities. i can even park my huge ass van! though sometimes it takes a few tries to get it lined up right.

6. A job you had which people would be shocked that you had? i don’t think i’ve had any “shocking” jobs. the typical bus boy, waitress, cook stuff. um. it might shock people that i was a teaching assistant and then a substitute teacher in public schools, haha. with carabeeners in my ears and a long dreadlock down my back. i can’t believe they let me in there with the kids, haha. crazy hippy person. the kids didn’t even know if i was a male or female half the time and they are not shy about asking or making a big fuss about that. but yet they thought of me as the “Cool” teacher because i pretty much didn’t care what they said, i had a smart ass thing to throw back at them. good. kids needs exposure to people they can’t pigeonhole, haha.

7. Do you think aliens are real? yeah, sure. i guess it would be less of a chance that they aren’t real, right? i’d still be surprised to see aliens myself, though. my brain would need a minute to recalibrate reality.

8. Can you drive a stick shift? yeah, i would think. though my van is automatic and i haven’t drive one in like a year. all of my cars previous to this van were stick shift so i think it’s gotta be muscle memory by now, haha.

9. Guilty pleasure? johnny clegg’s newer albums? haha. they are so cheesy but adorable. he’s a huge nerd dad.

10. Tattoos? two, i think? haha. one i just got cause a friend asked me to come with her to the tattoo shop. she was nervous. so i got one along with her! it was in college, whatever right? it was a green vine around my arm. the other i also got with a friend, haha! it’s a spider, but it’s really hard to see because i requested it to be done only slightly darker than skintone. you can only see it if you know where to look. i want more but i am broke.

11. Favorite Film? these days my favorite movies are Latcho Drom, Kung-Fu Hustle, Gangs of New York, the Red Violin, and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. probably a few others i’m forgetting. when i was a kid it was Secret of NIMH, Jurassic Park, and Toy Story haha.

12. Things people do that makes you mad? haha wow. the last person had written pretty much the same thing i would right. touching without permission being one of them. and treating me like i’m an idiot instead of realizing when there is a miscommunication. being emotionally manipulative or demanding to me.

13. Fear? hate and bigotry and misunderstanding. and the fact that there are people out there who really are malevolent, and we really do have to fight them... i don’t want to fight. i also fear despair. and fear. i fear fear. hah.

14. Favorite childhood game? if we’re talking neighborhood games, ghost in the graveyard! we played with the lamp post on the street as the base. one team guarded the base while the rest of the people were ghosts trying to get on base. some of the base guard were hunters and came out into the woods after the ghosts. i forget the rest of the rules but it sure was fun.

15. Do you talk to yourself? too much.

16. Do you like doing puzzles? sudoku all night, brah.

17. Favorite music? i enjoy so many types of music i don’t even know how to list them here. i like anything from ambient space “Deep listening” stuff all the way to super eurobeat and american traditional folk music. shit, haha. i don’t know!!

18. Tea or Coffee? I usually drink one cup of coffee in the first part of the day and one cup of tea in the second part of the day, haha.

19. First thing you remember you wanted to be when you grew up? i don’t remember if i ever really had a solid idea of what i wanted to be. i guess that makes sense given that i seem to be nothing but a mishmash of skills and job experience, now. haha.

Play along... copy and paste it onto your wall and let your friends learn a little about you.

[dadmilkman]

i never really post on here personally because i migrated to twitter a few years ago and the appeal of tumblr left me shortly after but ive talked about this topic ive had on my mind on twitter a lot already and ive bugged my friends in their dm’s too much but i still need to get it off my chest so im gonna talk about it some more anyway

in november this past year i messaged an artist hosting a secret santa event pledging to participate, and the next day they sent me back saying, no, i cant participate, because my art looks “too traced”

i dont post my art on this blog much anymore since i started posting it on my sideblog but i do draw fairly often and for years, for YEARS, one of the things that has contributed to my horrible, horrible depression (besides like, everything else) is my very bad habit of comparing myself to literally everyone and everything else. its taken me a long time to start trying to break this habit and not feel bad about my own abilities or skills in comparison to other people, and to this day im still struggling with it. art has been a personal battle for me, as it is for anyone who creates things regardless of what it is, and ive given up, sometimes for months or years at a time, only to eventually come back and start drawing again and then hate how far behind i felt because of all the time i spent not improving any at all.

so fast forward from 2012 where i “seriously’ start drawing to the start of last year, after going through maybe 3 hiatuses where i didnt draw for over 6 months, to where i finally bought my own tablet (after borrowing off my girlfriend or just drawing with pencil) in april and started actually seriously drawing again, all summer and during school even i was just drawing out the ass, all the time, i was putting more shit down than i had for a long long time and it was bad but i was real proud of it because i was creating things! and thats what ive always wanted to do, is just put stuff out in the world. to make things with any sort of permanence. so all last year i was really pleased with my progress and i was even getting better at drawing faces and coloring so i was real pleased.

so i get into a few new hobbies during the year and start following a bunch of artists on tumblr, or blogs that promote other artists, because id gotten to enough of a point where seeing other people accomplished at art didnt make me feel quite so bad about myself as it used to - i was able to look at other peoples success with pride on their behalf and not anger or jealousy. and at this point id start liking a little bit of my own attention, so i make a separate art blog dedicated to my art and my characters. and theres this one artist i really admired. they draw nothing but their oc’s, which is also nothing but what i draw too, and they were popular and everyone liked their characters and they had lots of artists friends they could talk with and do trades with and it was and is everything i wanted to be. i wanted to be that sociable and liked and known, even if it was just among a small group of friends in a small part of a niche interest, i wanted to participate in something.

so i see this secret santa i really want to join, hosted by none other than this artist i look up to, quite a lot. id sent them a few anons before with various questions on things and felt comfortable enough to message them and ask about joining the secret santa. i was finally comfortable enough in my artistic abilities to want to join, too, which was huge for me. so i message them, and wait for them to message me back.

and they do , the next day, and its to immediately tell me that my art looks too traced and that i should “stay away” from their art trade. as any aspiring artist will tell you, tracing photos is good. it helps you get muscle memory and learn perspective, anatomy, blah blah. as long as you dont do anything with it or pass it off as your own.

but tracing photos or god forbid other  peoples art and then posting it online and saying “look at this thing i drew all by myself arent you proud!?” is entirely different, and obviously isnt something ive ever fucking done, but its what they wanted to accuse me of, saying i was being deceitful and that other people in the trade would be mad if they knew. so, no, ive never done that. i never said ive never traced photographs before, i do it all the time to practice poses and anatomy and then i send them to my friend and say “ha i drew my characters doing this thing” and like, thats the only light of day it sees.

but apparently this artist was and still is under the impression that everything ive ever drawn was traced, as if i never put any work into anything. i do. i dont even know how to express that statement enough. i do . i do put hard work into the stuff i make. i practice and i draw and i sketch and no, im not fucking great at art, but it makes me happy and i can draw my ocs and thats really all i want to be able to do, so when someone comes to me , someone i looked up to and admired , and accuses me of being a liar and a fake, it hurt.

and of course i tried to explain i dont trace my art? i used photo references, a lot. sometimes ill take a photograph of myself to use as a reference too. i have a bunch of pvc pipes in my room i use when i need a ref of someone holding a staff or sword so i can make the angles better. i have a reference blog i use heavily and most of the time the outfits i draw are from stuff i see models wearing and want to put my ocs in. but i dont trace it, and that accusation hurt. the only thing i ever “trace” when i draw figures is a stick figure on a pose, IF im having trouble, like this 

and then the rest of the drawing, the lines, the hair the clothes the face, whatever, i draw that free hand, its not like i sit there and trace a whole photo or drawing? and if i did im not gonna...post it online and pretend i did all this hard work? and this is all the same thing i said to this person, i admitted to doing this stick figure technique, and that i sometimes trace photographs but i use it as a mechanic to help me improve anatomy accuracy and not as a cop-out for doing my own work and ive never passed off someone else’s skills as my own like they were insinuating. i mean, is this tracing? ive seen self taught and professional artists (and artists/photographers like senshistock, where i get a lot of refs) use this or a similar stick man figure approach when trying to draw people. i never thought i was doing something deceitful , and not to mention i dont even do this with every thing i ever draw. just stuff with weird angles or if theres a specific pose i want to capture correctly. i cant tell if this criticism reminds me too much of the argument circa a few years ago that using references or photos of any sort at all was cheating, or if this is genuine criticism and its a practice i shouldnt use anymore. which i havent been doing anymore anyway.

it was so infuriating to be confronted with this and have the whole argument portrayed like i was a sham and i was duping people on purpose. “stay away from the art trade” was their exact words. it hurt a lot and it still does, and its still killing my confidence every day. ive been trying to move on from the whole thing but when someone you admire shoots you down like that, i just dont know how to keep going knowing them and other people they apparently talked to about this are looking at my work thinking im a cheat. this has been on my mind nearly every day for 3 months and its killing me.

[uniformbravo]

idk how to start off this post im just gonna talk abt my day bc i need to get some things out or w/e

it wasn’t great idk i was supposed to put up an art video on my channel today but i guess a case of perfectionism got in the way? it’s the umbrella drawing, if u follow my art blog (i posted a wip there), and i really like how it turned out, so i wanted to make this video in particular rly good to live up to the standard the art set, i guess? 

the main issue was the music, because the original inspiration for the drawing was this song, and i would’ve loved to use it in the video but i’d need to buy a license to safely use it and pfbtbpt im not doing That (although after looking into it, it looks like if i used the song all that would happen is i’d get an ad put on my video? based on what the monstercat website says but im still rly iffy abt it so idk)

basically im not gonna use the song so i have to find an alternative, right. the next plot point is this piano cover by one of my favorite pianists on youtube god their stuff is incredible im blown away every time they upload a video jesus christ. anyway that video came out yesterday and i’ve been obsessed with it for the last 24 hrs, and it turns out the pianist put in the about section of their channel that anyone is allowed to use their music with credit so im like god?? bc i love the song so much

and i did think about using it for my video but 1. it’s very short, it’s like a minute thirty and 2. it’s already from something like it’s not just some random song it might sound weird to anyone who’s seen the anime and recognizes this song i’ve used for my totally unrelated drawing so hgggg but the length was the main issue right i like to try to make my videos around 4 min long at the least and even if i repeated this song it’d only be 3 min so 

which brings me to my third idea: i was inspired by the piano video and everything so i thought hey why don;t i just play my own little thing for my art vid that’ll work right. that’s a good idea right. i figured i’d try to do a little improv cover of that first song, the monstercat one that inspired the drawing in the first place, and i mean it is a good idea, except.

except for like 20 million things ok so i guess first of all i just haven’t been on the greatest terms with my piano playing in general lately? im in a weird spot right now where i’m trying to improve my skill level, especially with my left hand, and it’s like. i know i can do complicated things because when i have sheet music and im learning a song that someone else wrote, with enough practice i can get the muscle memory down and get used to playing it; it’s just the fact that im not able to improvise super complicated things that’s been frustrating me

and the ridiculous thing about it is that i look up to all the incredible pianists i find on youtube, especially the one i’ve mentioned in this post, and inevitably im comparing myself to them, which is completely stupid bc these pianists for the most part aren’t pulling these songs out of their asses, they’re putting together arrangements and then practicing them until they can play them perfectly. so it’s super dumb that i’m getting all upset over not being able to replicate their techniques on the fly bc it takes fucking dedication to get to that level right. they make it look effortless because they’ve practiced it. i play a song for the first time by ear and get all mad that im not putting in these fancy additions that aren’t natural for me

what’s frustrating about realizing this, though, is the reality that i just physically can’t practice as much as i’d need to because of how much it hurts my hands/arms/shoulders/back like i honestly dont know what other pianists are doing but i tend to just binge and play for like 3 hours straight it’s really bad i guess but the time just flies by it’s even worse than art

idk, i guess i just get frustrated because my skill level isn’t where i want it to be, like i Want to be as good as these other pianists i look up to but for one they’re much more serious about it than i am, i think? piano is mostly a hobby for me, like i don’t put nearly as much work into it as i do art or as i would if i wanted to actually improve at a higher rate, and i mean. i watch the techniques of other pianists and the speed at which they can play and it just blows my mind i can’t even imagine myself playing that fast unless i. you know. practiced one specific song enough hghudg god i dont know

basically the piano thing didn’t go well today and now my arm hurts (the left one, not really the right but my right hand and elbow were hurting by the end of the session today, im really fucking shit at making myself stop playing) and i recorded some things but i hate them and i want to try again tomorrow but the physical limitations are holding me back; it would be such a bad idea to try going back tomorrow, not because i wouldnt be able to record a song or two, but because a song or two wouldn’t be enough to get something im happy with: what i mean by that is after today i’ve realized that what i want for this video im making is a song to match the drawing, so i wouldn;t want to make just an improv thing like i did today, but rather i’d want to put together an arrangement for it, meaning something with a more concrete melody and not just me panicking and hitting the first chord that comes to mind over and over until i have 8 minutes of music recorded. essentially, i would want to put effort into this song, really make it fit the art, and the reality is that because of my injury i have such a limited amount of time i’m allowed to spend with the piano that this kind of project is just not possible for me

so today was kind of a realization of that, which i mean i already knew this because i tried to do the same thing last month and came to the same conclusion but the wall doesn’t get any less solid or painful the second time you run into it, right

anyway long story short i did not upload a video today and im not sure what i’m gonna do because i still want to pick a good song that lives up to the art but none of today’s potential options worked out so im either gonna have to just settle with a song i’m not as happy with or put off this video indefinitely and try to work out a different drawing i can upload tomorrow or idk whatever happens happens, i guess. it’s for tomorrow’s me to deal with im going to bed

they're all so pretty and perfect ;-;

Vxtum

OMGG SDJKFJKDSFHJKI agree with Katie. ;-; They all look good!

Calypso reminding me of Eris from Sinbad

Deceitfulcharmer

Part of me is a little tempted to take part, but I also know that I wouldn't do anything with it so there's no point asdfghjk

Metalpiratequeen

gently nudges gives us the war/liberator god and blue sky goddess

Vxtum

Could always do what I'm doing? I just made it its separate verse for anytime

Deceitfulcharmer

stop tempting meeeee

that could also work ;-;

Metalpiratequeen

I'm making them seperate verses because I want to keep these going.

Deceitfulcharmer

maybe I'll doodle a couple things when I get home uwu

Vxtum

sdkjhsdfhjk oh god ;-;

-excited for both-

Deceitfulcharmer

I've been practicing muscular males lately so Megatron can be one of my guinea pigs xD

Vxtum

Muscled warlord u-u good, good stuff

Rustedservos

yeah im probs gonna make this a seperate verse also cause i love god formers

Metalpiratequeen

Sweet. Has everyone made a godformer then?

Swordintehswarm

shake head no

Vxtum

Julius says he might make Tetta into a tiny fairy that accompanies Gravitas. (We otherwise are abstaining from Cyclonus, Galvatron, and Scourge having godforms. For Cyclonus, he already has two 'god' verses, and he's from a god in our targetmaster verse. I'm pretty much maxed out with Cyclonus and his herald-self xD)

Metalpiratequeen

Cyclonus-deity whore

But tiny fairy Tetta sounds so cute ;3;

Vxtum

-grins-

Metalpiratequeen

Or an imp. Lazarette sees her as a mischievous I'mp. :p

Swordintheswarm

Fae folk are not nice8'D

Fae folk kill people for fun, no need for imps

Deceitfulcharmer

Grimmjow muse was also very interested in Gravitas' godformers bio, btw uwu

Vxtum

I've no idea if she's a killer. I just know that she puts new flowers in his hair and sleeps in some of the larger blooms strung up on his antlers. She might be nice to him, but for all I know, she could absolutely be this evil thing to everyone else.

omg, was he?? -grins- Come give him a bowl of berries at one of his shrines/alters, and he'll come out to associate with you~

Swordintheswarm

Tetta using Gravitas's antlers to nestle sounds adorable asf

Vxtum

He's a greedy fuck. You leave him an offering, he's there

Swordintheswarm

But I am too cautious about actual medieval fairies to try to approach if it were rl xD

Deceitfulcharmer

when you start thinking of your OC in godformers AU but end up accidentally dragging another two of your OCs into it alongside her ;-;

I started with goddess of wind and rain and now I've ended up with god of thunder and goddess of lightning too

Swordintheswarm

Loool, ikr

MetalPirateQueen

Weather deities!

Deceitfulcharmer

be nice to them or they will flood your village, or start a fire. whatever they feel like

Swordintheswarm

I want to do godformer bug but I’m procrastinating

Vxtum

It took me, like, four days to complete the "meet the godformer" thing, so don't feel bad u-u

Metalpiratequeen

What does my Godformer wear? ....nothing

Vxtum

Instantly the most popular among their peers

Deceitfulcharmer

I'm thinking Electron's Godformer can't/doesn't ever touch the ground, instead hovering on a breeze

Vxtum

I haven't decided yet that when Gravitas takes human form, if he bothers 'magicking' clothes onto himself. He feels like the sort of uncivilized guy to walk around, naked and proud. "Your cultural's obsession with the need to hide the beauty of one's body is not welcome in my presence. I will not humour it."

omg, Katie

Metalpiratequeen

Maybe Electron is a breeze. Like a literal wind with a human outline.You could see a whirlwind inside her. Or a hurricane

Deceitfulcharmer

I was going to go for super flowy clothes but that sounds so beautiful too ;-;

Metalpiratequeen

(Also be warned. LS is a demigod going around demanding quests from gods, Hercules style, so she may obtain godhood and finally meet her father, the god of time. While Lazarette is a vengeful god who hates humans for occupying her domain and rarely ever joins in on deity affairs and politics. Haven't quite decided where the bros stand. Might make Oil Slick a satyr.

Deceitfulcharmer

Megatron sits around, counting down the days until the next war when he's suddenly needed again xD

Metalpiratequeen

God of war gets a lot if holidays xD

Deceitfulcharmer

I have two big questions: 1. How buff do I make him and 2. How much of it do I actually bother to cover with armour

Vxtum

Gravitas actually enjoys humans, preferring to be in the forest, watching them/helping them/revealing himself to them than hanging around the Ethereal Realm (Olympus/Heaven/whatever LOL)), so he pretty much skimps out on most festivities and politics. But fuck, LS. ;-; I love that take you did. It gives her such a good reason to interact with any god she comes across. Fuck, I can't wait to see, man xD

LOL, Katie. Conan arms!

Metalpiratequeen

Go the opposite route and give Megs as little armour as possible. Hell, how about an old collesium match where he battles butt naked!

Deceitfulcharmer

CHARL xD

Vxtum

lmao, I actually agree about the naked part. If you gotta go to war naked to startle the enemy, then more reason to!

Deceitfulcharmer

all these naked gods, how scandalous <3

Metalpiratequeen

They're gods. All they do is fight and have sex anyway.

Deceitfulcharmer

...you have a very good pointwhy not do both at once and save time?

Metalpiratequeen

(Normal verse: Gravitas and Lazarette have a ton of sex. Godformer au: Gravitas and Lazarette have a ton of sex. Only now with bestiality)

Vxtum

Horse cock

Well, not really. Maybe I should still give him his double-cock. Sounds like a god-thing. So fertile he's got two

Decetifulcharmer

yes, give him the double dick

Metalpiratequeen

Well, fish don't really have holes, so they're kinda at a crossroad here. Unless she can also have human legs.

OMG XD

Vxtum

lmao

Metalpiratequeen

My poor girl. Gravitas could only frack her valve as a robot, but now he can actually double penetrate her xD

Vxtum

"CHANGE TO YOUR HUMAN FORM!"

"NO, YOU CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE!"

"HOW CAN WE MATE IF WE'RE INCOMPATIBLE? I AM NOT DRY HUMPING YOU, WOMAN."

Metalpiratequeen

LMAO

Already married.

Swordintheswarm

Omfg xD

Vxtum

Everyone hears the argument and just rolls their eyes. Another day as all-powerful gods; another fight between two vastly proud deities, refusing to change form for the other as they try to figure out a solution to have sex

Deceitfulcharmer

-Megatron sits and waits for it to turn into a war-

Vxtum

lmao

So he can come charging it, naked and swords drawn (not just two in this case)

Deceitfulcharmer

His third sword, this time

Vxtum

-pictures Gravitas, mad at Lazarette, exiting a forest to the beach line, and just stomps his hooves and splashes and kicks at the water, knowing it's her domain-

Tailblinking

"Fish pee in you- all day! So... hmph"

Thanks Moana

Vxtum

Ahah!

Deceitfulcharmer

Electron is friends with all birds, but her animal form would be a peregrine falcon <3

Aaaahh beautiful forest ;v;

Vxtum

that's awesomeI can even see her in the design of that bird (had to google that xD)

Metalpiratequeen

Beautiful sky goddess ;_;

LS is gonna pester her for a quest. (Or at the very least a free ride)

Deceitfulcharmer

It's an unintentional likeness but I run with it xD

please do <3

Swordintheswarm

Welp now I wanna godformer too

Metalpiratequeen

(Lazarette brings s tidal wave down on Gravitas)

Good!Please join us!

Swordintheswarm

Oh my god 8'D

What do I have to do, I mean I’m not really gonna do anything with it for the event but maybe to keep it as au

Unifyingspark

Clearcut should be the god/protector of orphaned or abandoned kids. Since he has that in his history, poor baby

Swordintheswarm

He's more of a knight than insect, so maybe god of honor instead. God of honor AND insects maybe xD

True LOL

Unifyingspark

honor would do, he is all about the honor

Swordintheswarm

He should take after traits of herbivore insects that fight each other for mates

Aka rhino and stag beetles, and earwigs. Maybe something else

In any case bugs known to 'duel for honor' :'D

Unifyingspark

*huge grin

Vxtum

// lmao.. Lazarette. Coughing, sputtering stagtaur, hair all over his face as he curses her name(edited)

Swordintheswarm

Lol, just this huge rhino beetle with earwig cerci, gilded in gold and jewels. Maybe give him a humanoid face but otherwise he's just a massive damn beetle pursuing evildoers....kind of like khepri from smite, actually

Unifyingspark

sounds gorgeous

Deceitfulcharmer

-gets home in an hour- -really wants to draw her godformers- ;-;

Swordintheswarm

Just add browns to that and earwig cerci, and pretty close

Vxtum

I love how the gods could so easily be interconnected and know one another (or know about one another)? CC and his insects in Gravitas' forests; the forest lining against Lazarette's oceans; Electron the air they breathe, the wind that carries in the rain from Lazaratte's seas to Gravitas' forests, to give nourishment for the insects (both as water and healthy foliage to eat) CC's insects are what keep the ecosystem of the forests thriving and healthy

Deceitfulcharmer

They also feed Electron's bird friends <3

Metalpiratequeen

Everything is connected. Hence why most gods are related. It would be nice that each one keeps an eye on the other. Like Electron flying over Lazarette’s domain, keeping watch. Or communicating which each domain’s animals just to hear what is going on

Vxtum

-grins- Always getting into disputes with one another, too. Domain rivalries

Unifyingspark

*throws tiny fairy Tettares around Gravitas' antlersthere's my contribution

Metalpiratequeen

“Your ocean is submerging my land!”

“Well, the ice is stealing my water!”

“Well, the ice is killing my insects!”

Deceitfulcharmer

Omg yes, if she flooded the forest or her trine mate set fire to it with her lightning ;-;

Swordintheswarm

Omg yes. Theres so much capacity for interaction and strife

Vxtum

oh my god, I'm sure CC and Gravitas would be so angry if a forest caught fire 'cause of a lightening strike.

Swordintheswarm

THEY WOULD

Vxtum

And then they'd be snarling at Electron, "IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HAD BROUGHT MORE RAIN FROM THE SEAS" Then they're off courting their Champions to then go to war and 'win' against the champions of the Electron and her trine mates. That's how they ultimately settle disputes. Bringing in mortals'cause they're immortal so nothing gets settled. In comes LS

Deceitfulcharmer

Megatron rubbing his hands in the distance. Yes good, he's been waiting for a good war

Vxtum

Oh man, that would awesome. When they all fucked up when they wake up the God of War

Metalpiratequeen

I'm pretty sure all Olympus meetings are just awkward family reunions where the father and mother god tell their kids to grow up...and as an opportunity to show off their new Demi-god offspring. "Look it's a nominator!” “Well, mine’s a Cyclops.” “Mine are daemon.” “Mines a kraken.”

Deceitfulcharmer

Gives help to whoever gives him the best offerings

Metalpiratequeen

(Now I can't stop imagining LS wielding a giant axe and running into batlle. "I will vanquish the evil naked war god and finally shed my human shell!!!”

Unifyingspark

Galvatron is proud. *hands her his axe* "You can borrow this for now but give it back or Cyclonus will be cross."// or cyclonus will gives me sucha frown

Metalpiratequeen

gladly accepts the battle axe..and instantly collapses under its weight.

Cyclonus of Tetrahex-Today at 5:47 PM

// Make me think of the comment I made a while back, now that it's so relevant to all this god stuff; Galvatron a war god, Scourge and Cyclonus his Valkyries

lmao Charl

This fantastic demigod everyone wants her as their champion. They see that fire in her

Unifyingspark

Galvatron winces and picks her up, "There, there, you will endure."

Metalpiratequeen

Meanwhile Maccadam, her deadbeat dad is seeing every possible future and drinking himself plastered. "Daughter. Please, stop."

Vxtum

I think Gravitas' trial to become his champion ultimate leads to them to hunt /him/; 'cause I wanted that in his bio. That he welcomes the bravest hunter coming to take his antlers as the trophy

Metalpiratequeen

*Intrigued mortal noises.*

No sweetie. No. There are easier trials.

Vxtum

lmaoI haven't decided if he would use his magic or not (like those who cheat often in the greek lore, making the trials /so/ much harder). I like to think he would put away his signalling horn and broadsword. He /makes/ himself the prey. But he keeps his dagger

Metalpiratequeen

LS gets her offering list out. "Alright then. Skinned fur from a successful hunt? Check. Vanilla scented candles. Check. Bowl or berries mixed with chunks of red meat from successful hunt? Check. Night if untamed passion and dominance?...where's auntie Lazarette when you need her?"

Vxtum

LMAO I can already hear her balking at the request. Not wanting to lie down with a flea-bitten, dirty man-deer

Metalpiratequeen

Well, not twice in one week. XD

Vxtum

LOLOH GOD, LOL

-tries to shut him up- He's just smirking and crossing his arms, a hoof pawing idly at the ground. "Back for more already?"

Metalpiratequeen

*throws a squid at him*

Vxtum

lmao

Metalpiratequeen

She loves him really.

Vxtum

-grins- That feeling is absolutely mutual

Metalpiratequeen

Oil Slick is gonna be a god of decay. :3 wearing his goat skull and cloaks. A satyr, and loving all things that rot and grow fungus.

Vxtum

Holy shit. All of the fantastic aestheticism I can already picture ;-; He's easily going to be the prettiest god to me

Unifyingspark

I was just gonna say, well Oil Slick hits all my spots, so I'm sold

Metalpiratequeen

Normal verse Oil Slick would greatly disapprove of his nonchalant to hygiene. His flower symbol is a mushroom (and he also might delve in hallucinations and acid trips xD) He's gonna love a potential war. So many bodies dropping to the floor. So much disease and death

Vxtum

http://babyanimalgifs.tumblr.com/post/158131529309/his-first-attempt-at-howling

If he enjoys everything decay, maybe one of his offerings could be the Corpse Flower xDLure that god down with the beautiful smell of nasty(edited)

Unifyingspark

Pup reminds me of baby Gravitasalso when I look at that puppy I think "cute" and then I think "pain in my ass"

Vxtum

LOL.. when he tries to roar for the first time in his beastmode?

Unifyingspark

he prolly has a lot of vocalizations though I believe his twin wins out on that. voidmonster who somehow is translated into fairy god.

Vxtum

-grins-His little fairy sister ;-;

Unifyingspark

God of nagging

LOLGravitas scowling and waving his hand at her, like she's a fly when she's nagging him

Metalpiratequeen

"Hey, listen. Hey, listen. Hey, listen."

Vxtum

lmao

Unifyingspark

Tiny glowing ball trying to talk to Lazarette, fish jumps out of water and eats her thinking she's a glowbug. Gravitas standing on the shore, all color leaves his face, "GAH!"

Vxtum

OH godGravitas, eyes wide, galloping frantically into the water. "Veritas!"

Explodes on Lazarette when he manages to capture the fish and free her; cuddling her close as he barks, "CONTROL YOUR BLOODTHIRSTY FAUNA!"

Unifyingspark

"Where does she live?" 

"On my head, pretty much."

Metalpiratequeen

Currently on the other side of the world, Lazarette projects a watery image of her head rising out from the ocean, "Get off my lawn."

Vxtum

LMAO

Unifyingspark

God she seriously could live on his head, he could hang a small lantern-style object from an antler like jewerly, when he has to do anything serious, takes her tiny house from him and hangs it on a tree, comes back for her later.

Vxtum

.. omgThat's perfect!

Unifyingspark

she's pretty much the forest gossip queen, collects all the dirt and going-ons, then brings all the chatter back to him

Swordintheswarm

Oh my god

Vxtum

He already has all kinds of other things thrown across his antlers. That would be /perfect/ ;-;"Who is talking shit about me today, sister? Whose people shall I starve today as punishment?"

Unifyingspark

xD I love it

Swordintheswarm

has a mental image of somebody putting festive flags or christmas tree-esque ornaments all over his antlers. There is even a star over his skull. Bloody murder is screamed. It's a bad time to be a mortal in the forest.

Vxtum

LMAO

that would be hilarious

Entire nearby village endures the god's wrath
